Book Description

Series: Art Of... | Publication Date: October 6, 1997

Of all the works surviving the Middle Ages, manuscripts are the most common. Hundreds of thousands exist; however, only about 5% are the highly decorated ones we now so admire. Learn about those who illuminated the manuscripts and those for whom they were illuminated. It traces the evolution of the artwork, and the cultures that produced it, by showing the highlights from 750-1500 A.D. Exquisitely executed with over 70 color photographs and illustrations and metallic inks and printed trace-paper inserts. Also in The Art Of series: Aztecs, India, Ancient Egypt, Celts, Japanese Prints, and Native North America.

Just an all-around wonderful book. As you learn about the manuscripts, the authors actually bring you inside of one, using the book's beautiful presentation. Well written and organized-a compliment to any collection.
